FOODOLOGY


1. What is your salad dressing of choice? Usually Thousand Island, sometimes bleu cheese, and if neither of those is available, I'll take ranch or honey mustard something

2. What is your favourite fast food restaurant? Depends on what I'm having/craving. For burgers, I sometimes want a Whopper, but like Wendy's too. For salads? Wendy's or Sonic. For roast beef, only Arby's. Fries? ARBY's curly fries. Mexican? Beto's or Bajio's.

I'm picky I suppose.

3. What is your favourite sit-down restaurant? Again, depends on what I'm having/craving. Sushi: Happy Sumo. Italian: Macaroni Grill (unless I want portabello ravioli, then I'm off to Olive Garden). Chicken fingers: Wingers. I also rather enjoy Applebee's and that place we went on our honeymoon in downtown SLC, whose name escapes me at the moment.

4. On average, what size tip do you leave at a restaurant? 15%, unless hubby is in charge. He usually leaves 10% unless we got great service, then it's 20%.

5. What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick of? ... some form of pasta. MAYBE.

We have food!

Seriously, I haven't gone shopping in two weeks or more. hubby was pretty upset there was no food yesterday. He could go shopping but nooooooooo ... it's okay though. at least this way i know how much is spent on groceries (too much) and i can not get something if it's just too much money. he'll buy everything on the list even if we don't have money for two more weeks. oy.

The thing i'm learning is that even though both of us work and we both make good money, we still have to budget. can't just go crazy, even when our YTD income looks really really good. We pay tithing on our gross, we are paying child support, we have a house and two cars and two kids and a whole bunch of things, but if we're not still careful with the money, we're still in trouble.

Went to IKEA yesterday with cc -- spent less than $25, but got a whole lot of ideas on how to make this house work for us for a few more years. We need to get rid of some stuff and better organize the stuff we keep. But either this summer or when we are pregnant again, we're going to turn the office into a nursery -- and put my office into one of our walk in closets. I think we've even figured out how to do that. So, yeah. Things are okay.

George Clooney is a vampire.

At least, he was one in my dreams.

Why on earth I can't have normal dreams, I don't know, but I thought that was pretty funny when I woke up this morning. First I drug up Senator Clinton and send her on a roller coaster (I dreamt that months ago) and now Clooney being a blood sucker. *snicker*

Okay.

Yesterday we walked. Breakfast was GoLean crunch, smoothie for a snack, lunch was a sonic salad (yes, with onion ring ... and a slush. gah), dinner was a lovely ground chicken chili with black beans and corn bread made with whole wheat flour.

I'm going to Ikea with CC today, so I'm assuming we'll be walking a bit. Huge store. Huge parking lot. I'm going to use that as my walk today.

Starting to get a headache from caffeine withdrawals today. Eeep.

Banks and stoopid mess ups

Today's Community Chest card would read: Checkbook error in your favor! Collect $353!

My bank says I have $353 more than my checkbook says I have. I've been trying to figure it out for half the morning.

OH MY HELL

How did I not notice I'd subtracted the car insurance TWICE??? Well. Last month in the midst of our refinance a LOT of money went in and out of the checking account. I couldn't figure out how we'd blown through all the money so fast, but didn't have any idea I'd messed that up.

so, Yay! Bills get to be paid! gah.

Vampires, bats, crazy people

George Clooney is a vampire.

At least, he was one in my dream this morning.

That is all.

I'm a romantic ... oddly enough.

I didn't quite know how to answer all those questions. Some of them I wanted to click BOTH answers.

You Are A Realistic Romantic

It's easy for you to get swept away by romance... But you've done a pretty good job keeping perspective. You're still taken in by love poems and sunsets You just don't fall for every dreamy pick up line!

Are You Romantic or Realistic?

Guess I need to break it to hubby that I need a bit of romance ... when HE is putting forth the effort. When he thinks he's just being silly is when he's really being quite romantic and loving. He tries to stifle it 'cuz he doesn't want to get made fun of. But who is going to? Not me! None of my girlfriends. Maybe "the guys" would, but they can all go play more WoW and continue to have nonexistant love lives as far as I'm concerned. ;)

What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means

Your eating style is reserved. You are a bit of a fussy eater, and you have very specific ways you like your food prepared. You have an average sweet tooth. While you enjoy desserts, they aren't exactly your downfall. Your taste in food tends to be quite eclectic and wide. You are an adventurous eater, and you like many types of cuisines. You are probably a fairly normal, upper middle class person. You don't rock the boat too often. You are a tough person who isn't afraid to live life fully. There isn't a lot that scares you. Precise and controlled, you can be a bit anal retentive when it comes to how you like things. You're definitely a perfectionist.

What Does Your Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Say About You?

The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the dessert thing. I love dessert. lol
